I'm not gonna say living in a pod closet is good, but living in the suburbs doesn't feel much better.
1. You aren't truly a home "owner". You still have to pay the bank for the mortgage. You're also beholden to the nosy Karens at the HOA.
2. You have a car, but that's not necessarily freedom of movement. Instead of being packed into public transportation with other people like sardines, you are forced to dodge other people in their cars (who all drive like complete retards) and waste your precious, ever-dwindling time on this earth waiting for stoplights to turn green.
3. You don't have a community or speak to your neighbors. You remain atomized in your own little fiefdom. You don't have nature to admire or fresh air to breathe.
4. You're expected to keep up with the Joneses, send the kids to the best schools and have them play sports with the kids who are better, have the nicest cars and TVs, gadgets, vacations, etc. The suburbs as we know them today are built on consoomerism.
5. You still have liberal politics, except it's snot-nosed white liberals instead of hoodrats, fags, or hipsters. Suburban shitlibs are arguably worse, because they are the empty-headed do-gooders who want to make the suburbs more urban (as long as their gated communities are exempt, of course).
Maybe I've forgotten how good I have it in the 'burbs, but right now it feels increasingly like a claustrophobic gilded gulag.
